Another Table Problem ...

My local board works a high school scholarship tournament, gratis, the Doc Hurley Classic, in the XL Center (former Hartford Civic Center). "Big Time" court (UCONN). The first year we worked there, one of our veteran officials got confused and reported a foul to the press table, that was on the other side of the court from the scorer's table. He never lived that down.

That happens to me all the time in our local kids rec league. In fact, a couple of times I've reported to the television crew.

Yeah, right.

Exclamation

Probably my funniest game yet was a boys HS rec game. One of the coaches came out dressed as Bozo the clown. At first, I didn't notice it because he just looked like a lot of other coaches. About 10 seconds into the game, he jumped straight up off the bench and yelled about a call. Unfortunately for him, when he jumped up, his head got cut off by a ceiling fan. It rolled out onto the court and was picked up by one of the players. He bounced it and the nose hit the floor, giving off a squeak. He asked me if they could use this as the ball for the rest of the game. I told him we couldn't because it was only a 28.5. He said what if they all played like girls? I thought about it for a moment and said OK. The rest of the game went fine but with a lot of squeaks. At one time, one of the players tried to dunk but his fingers were caught in the eye sockets and he couldn't let go of the head. He hung on the rim and I had to call a T. Final score was 4-2.

Can you tell I ran out of meds?

Sorry. I don't believe your story. You would never let a game get this close to overtime. Never. Ever.
